More Apples

Here are some more fun apply activities that we are doing. In the dramatic play center, the students can pick apples off of trees and make apple pie.

We have our September words on a board so the students can practice reading and writing them.

We tried apple slices, apple sauce, apple juice, and apple jelly and made a graph of which snack we like the best. I was surprised that the students liked apple jelly the best.

We also sang a song about Johnny Appleseed. If you have ever see the Disney cartoon about Johnny Appleseed, then you have heard the song "The Lord's Been Good To Me". I used the same melody, but changed the words. Here are the words that I made up.

John Chapman was his name.

Born 1774

He planted seeds and helped those in need.

He traveled all around the land.

Yes, we remember him.

We made these two cute crafts that I bought from A Cupcake for the Teacher. The kids did a great job!

 This is the Johnny Appleseed hat.

Apple Labeling and Apple Graphing

This month our theme is apples. We are doing many fun activities using apples. We did an apple labeling activity to learn about the anatomy of an apple.

 The students had to draw seeds on the apple's flesh.

 The students' apples came out so cute!

This is a graph of our favorite apples. First, the students tried a slice of a green, red, and yellow apple and decided which one was their favorite. Next, they  put an apple cutout on the graph that was the same color as the apple that they liked the best. Last, we analyzed the graph and figured out which apple most of the students liked the best.
